Alot 2 b said for one day finals rather than 4 separate dates over 2 months one date set in stone from the start only one holiday from wrk if ur lucky enuf 2 qualify for more than one comp lol and as this is a "social league" I think you will draw a bigger crowd 2 watch the finals has 2 b better for the pubs, fill a pub for an afternoon rather than a half dozen boys for a 1hour maybe 2.A possible format cud b last 4 singles and last 2 in double 3man n 5 man order of play - 3man final /single semi /doubles final /single semi /5man final /single final - trophy's presented when won or after all finals are played just an idea I no this isn't the proper thread for this just fancied a rant lol

they dinni kin what format there using a finals day or seperate days to change the league fixtures, competitions come march is crazy, they had a second round of the 3 man team then decided it was not meant to have a second round just make it the finals , with 4 teamsreally they need to keep the fixture list as simple as possible without changes, it just confuses people

where are we playing tonight , aw pants it i've got enough bother trying to remember the rules never mind if its a league game or competition

so to have a finals day would mean the venue has to be a decent size , limiting the final to a few venues in the league (buck, douglas) seem to be the only venues big enough for that sort of finalor you could text people when their final is to be played that day say turn up at 4.53 for the double final

the league fees are £160 a season should all the pubs in the league not get the chance of a final, they all pay the same (social league)buck - 100 ball (2 teams)douglas - doubles & 3 man team (final & a last 4)railway - C&VC (last 4)Auld Hoose Windygates - Seniors (last 4)Brig - Singles (last 4)now the final is 4, if a competition is running well at 8 players it should not be changed , most pubs that hold the final have been busy and all the players turn up on the day (you only need to change something if its not working )to say its because their is less players entering the competition is not right as you can have as many qualifiers each round as you need (simple mathmatics, just think about it )

why bother with last 4 singles if its the finals day and the other competitions are finals

just fanced a rant at your post not all my comments are to do with your post

Got to agree with Mike and Stoo on some of the issues here. The Levenmouth pool league NEEDS a new committee for our league to prosper. This can only happen if people are willing to vote for a complete new committee at the forth coming A.G.M. by removing the present lot. The old regime has been dragging on for years with sheer IDIOTIC decisions made by our present mob. I would nominate Brian Thomson for chairman as I am certain he has a good knowledge and a good few ideas to boot. If others are willing to take on other posts such as treasurer, secretary or whatever, then who knows.........! This may just be the final injection that this league really needs. At the end of the day this is all about one thing........................ IMPROVING what we already have.
